this is none other than the house of God, - and this is the gate of heaven.\u201d The sense of loss cannot be other than great.\u2018 But this unexpected experience has its bright spots too.The unsparing efforts that were put forth to save the building, the prompt and hearty invitation to use St.Andrew\u2019s Church for Sunday weor- ship, the unfeigned kindness and sympathy of men and women of all other communions of the place, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, the messages of regret from churches in neighboring towns and villages and the expressions of sorrow from old friends of the congregation in many pluces, all these mean much to us and we are truly thankful.! Then too as pastor, I am filled with admiration for the splendid people to whom I minister.This circumstance of stre-s reveals the deep excellencies of their nature.With marvellous courage and unwavering faith they are tacing the perplexities and difficulties of the new situation.Though without a church building we were never more fully a Chureh than we are to-day.The determination is to rebuild as quickly as possible and in the meantime to carry out just as fully as we can the whole program of church services and church work in all our organizations.Wg go forwerd in the faith that out/of all this too, good must come.As one of the past said\u2014\"\u2018Best of all, God is with us.\u201d Sincerely thanking you for extending this privilege, I am Sincerely vours, J.F.Hughes, Pastor of United Church CARD OF THANKS We take thls opportunity of thanking our neighiors and friends who took such an interest in saving our home and contents from the disastrous fire which destroyed

approached the Rev.J.I.Hughes and extended to him the use of St.Andrew's Church for worship for the United Church congregation.Rev.Dr.Maclean being out of town at the time of the fire also extended a similar invitation to Mr.Hughes by letter.The following is a copy of the létterwhich was read at the Sunday Service : \u2014 Huntingdon, March 14th, B.D.I should like once more to assure you how very heartily welcome you and your people are to the use of St.Andrew\u2019s Church not only for today but for as long as you may have need of it.befallen you throws its shadow over us all, like to have you feel that we sympathize with you in the loss of your beautiful Church and the desolateness that must be yours in being thus driven from your Church-home.I am confident that the whole community will be behind you as you undertake with faith and courage to restore the walls of your Zion and that practical as well as moral support will be generally accorded.With all sympathy and best wishes sincerely, J.B.Maclean P.S.This letter was read to the congregation this morn- and by standing vote was cordially endorsed as the expression of their sentiments as well as my own.I remain, Yours Upon such an invitation being extended, the United Church Congregation assembled in St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon at 1.30.The church was well filled.Mr.Hughes stated that during his 23 years as a pastor he had never preached under such circumstances.He having prepared one sermon for Sunday and having had the second well under way and was now unable to use either of them.Rev.HuglBes gave an appropriate sermon for such an occasion taking for his text Isaiah 64 chapter and the | | verse.\u201d \u201cQur holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee,

are requested to shut off the water at entrance to your homes or at the valve to hot water boiler.Do not open your faucets, as each open tap tends to reduce the pressure at the fire where it is

somewhat damaged by water.The cellar under Mr.Black's store had about five inches of water in it, but none of his grocery stock was damaged.During the fire Mr.R.K.Black had a Kodak in his overcoat pocket and when he returned to the store to open up for business he found his coal pocket was on fire.A spark having fallen into his pocket lodged up against his Kodak.The Kodak was undamaged save the nickel part which was tarnished.A few of the electric wires were broken when the steeple fell and on CARD OF THANKS.We extend our sincere thanks to all the men who assisted in fighting the Fire at the

Huntingdon ls à moat honorable one, for to it is due the credit of firet preaching the gospel to its settlers.long before any other denomination (not excluding the Church of Rome) thought of providing for the spiritual needs of its immigrants, who took up land in these parts, the Methodists had thelr local preachers, who, though often illiterate and of slender natural ability, wero zealous and sincere, and did much to keep allve thoes public observances of roligion which are so Intimately associated with its Inward and spiritual power, and without which Irreligion finds a place.The efforts of the locul preachers were seconded by the occasional services of regular ministers from across the line, and for about eight years, it may be suid, the maintenances of religious observances fell wholly on the Methodists.\u201d \u201cThey kept the flame of ploty alive In the dark days of its first settlement and contributed largely to the formation of those good habits, so oxssentlal to the well-being of n community, \u2014 With great exertion they built this first church forty years ago, and after a prolonged struggle, the fruits of the labors of successive ministers and leading members began to appear in the large and respective connection which it now possesses.\u2019 There was need of a new church: to repair the old one would be too costly, so it was resolved to erect a new church.The tev.Gro.Rodgers began to solicit subscriptions in 1878, and the ladies to rafîso funds by entertainments.The Jtev.James Henderson, later Dr.Henderson, came to the circuit in July, 1879 and carried on the work started by Mr.Rodgers.A site was secured, tenders were called for and at a meeting of the trustees held on February 2nd.1880, four tenders were hefore the Trustees\u2014Thdmas Russell, Morrisburg, Ont., $19,300; James Gillespie, also of Morrisburg, 39,500; E.C.& B.B.Young, Boyd Settlement, Que., $9,800 and Mes- #rs.Moore and Fleld of Canton.N.Y., $9,025.The last tender was accepted not only hecause of it ba- ing the lowest but Messrs, Moore and Field followed church building exclusively, building at least two churches each year.The plans were prepared by 8.Badgely of Toronto.The main bullding is 50 x 80 ft.The tower Is fifty feot highs on which is the graceful spire of 76 ft.making a height in all of 128 ft, The contractois broke ground about the 20th of May and the corner stono was laid on July 12th hy the Supreme Grand Master, and Sovereign of British North Amer- fea, H.Merrick, M.P.P., of Merrick- ville, Ont.In this he was assisted by the Grand Master of Quebec, Captain Woodward, of Sherbrooke, Que.Dinner was served in the show building on the Fair (round at noon, then a procession was formed and marched to the Church, The day was very hot and dusty so some of the lodges were late on arriving.The Orange Lodges of Hun- tingdon, Elgin, Rockburn, Gore and Franklin were present.Fife and drum hands furnished martial mus- fe and banners were numerous, the most attractive being the new one of the Elgin Lodge with the portrait of the Rev.J.J.Casey thereon, It is sald that the ladles had prepared a wonderful dinner and could seat over 400 at once.The receipts were $332.A more ample or hetter served dinner was never provided in this section.At two o'clock the procession formed and marched to the church, the late Dr.C.H.Wells being Marshal.He was mounted on a charger owned by the late Mr.W.8.Maclaren.When the stone was about to be laid it was found that the silver trowel had been left at the Fair Ground, po Dr.Wells, in John Gilpin style, went after it and was hack In a few minutes.Others on the platform were Provincial District Master, Captain Barr, Rev.Messrs.James Henderson, F.G.Lett, Asscclate Minister, John Holmes, Ormstown, J.Wehster Valleyfield, and Rev, James Patterson, Preshyterian Minister of Hemmingford.The Band played\u201d The National Anthem after which Mr.Merrick addressed the audience of about 1000 persons.this account that section of the town was without electric lights on Saturday night.; The Baumert Co.Limited loaned their fire hose to the Town, but wera not put into use, as it was found unnecessary.The corporation are very grateful to the company for their willingness to loan their hose on such an occasion.The engine on the river continued pumping water onto the fire until after eight p.m.Monday afternoon a water pressure test was made and showed up to a much better advantage than on Saturday.On Saturday the pressure guage read but from 40 to 45 lbs.whilst on Monday it read 105 lbs.pressure when two streams of hose were connected and 100 lbs.with three streams flowing.At such pressure water can be thrown across the river and twice the heighth of any residence in Hunting- on.Time is a limited asset, a wasting asset; it fs just as dangerous to consume too much of it in planning and talking as it is to act without sufficlent planning and talking.Rev.Mr.Holmes then made a few remarks,

Council and Board of Trade to Work Hand in Hand to Form Volunteer Fire Brigade.The adjourned meeting of Huntingdon Town Council met at its usual place of sitting on Monday evening, with a full board present.Upon motion of Ald.Smaifll, seconded by Ald.Faubert the Baumert Co.Limited account of $17.96 was ordered paid.\u2018Mayor O'Connor called upon the representatives of the Temperance people to place before the Council their letter.The committee had pre- yared a letter which was read by Mr.D.A.Macfarlane and was es follows: Huntingdon, March 15, 1926 To the Mayor and Aldermen of the Town or Huntingdon, Honored Sirs:\u2014 At a public meeting of citizens held a short time since, a delegation was appointed to wait on your honorable body to represent to you the urgent need of immédiate action on your part to put an end to the illegal sale of intoxicating lig- uors in the Town.According to Section 76 of The Quebec Liquor Act of 1921 the responsibility of init- jating and pursuing such action is very definitely as-igned to you.The evil consequences of this {llicit traffic in the Town are all too apparent and the disposition of the parties engaged in this criminal conduct to hold in contempt both the law and the constituted authorities has become a matter of public reproach.We are rejoiced to know that the representative of the Liquor Commission has made a beginning towards creating better conditions, but we are seized of the fact that it rests with you as the body having as your particular care the good name and well-being of the Town to adopt strong and persistent measures to the end that all may learn to hold in proper respect both the Law of the Land and the proper rights of all law-abiding citizens.Let us assure you that in taking such action you will be supported by the strong moral sentiment of citizens of the Town and of all the surrounding country.R.H.Crawford D.A.Macfarlane A.A.Lunan Mr.R.H.Crawford and the Rev.J.I.Hughes were also asked if they had anything to say on the matter and each of these men made brief remarks.Mayor O'Connor then asked all the aldermen to express their opinions on the matter individually.They were all of one mind that if the Council were responsible, that they should make a move to have the laws maintained.It was ultimately .decided .that the Council should meet the Tem- the perance Committee privately on Monday evening next and take what forward steps they then felt advisable to take.The secretary read a letter from the Board of Trade stating that the Board would be glad to give support towards organizing a volunteer fire brigade.The council were of one mind that such a fire brigade formation was necessary.The council decided to meet with the Board of Trade executive and discuss the matters and then bring forth what recommendations they might receive and proceed with the forming of such an organization.Considerable di=cussion over the advisability of allowing the corporation man work in conjunction with the Liquor Commission enforcement representative.It was ultimately decided that Mr.Macrow should not go out on such work without authorization from the Town Council.The secretary was instructed insert a card of thanks in the Gleaner to those who assisted in combatting the fire on Saturday and to the Baumert Co.Limited for the loaning of their hose for emergency use.Dr.Walsh usked what was wrong with the water pressure on Saturday afternoon.Mayor O'Connor stated that the Council were not altogether pleased with the pressure, but that they made a test to-day which proved satisfactory.Apparently the water pressure was considerably.reduced on Saturday by so many of the townspeople leaving their water taps open during the fire.arose to Apples may be grown over a great

of Granby, Que., is Doing to Secure New Industries\u2014We Need a Publicity Bureau.In Granby, Que.the Board of Trade have been very active in giv: ing the Town publicity in hopes of securing new industries and the following item taken from the Granby Leader Mail might be taken as a tip for some of the Huntingdon people.By everybody working together the Huntingdon Board of Trade will be able to achieve more than if support is received from but half our citizens.That excellent paper the Granby f\u2018Leader-Mail\u201d\u2019 always contains something of interest, but it is sel dom that it excites our baser passions.However, perusal of Editor Legge's latest issue causes us to gnash our store-teeih, with jealous vexation, and the things we have done to the tenth commandment have been a shame! The reasun for all vhis distress of mind, and un-neighbourly jealousy, is to be found in the half- column of news which is headed \u201cBoard of Trade Notes\u201d und which includes numerous items like the following: \u201cThe Publicity Committee take pleasure in reporting that the second new industry for Granby has been definitely secured and with the number of irons in the fire that they are constantly working on it is hoped a third will establish in Granby before the snow disappears.\u201d Having assimilated the fact that the Granby Board of Trude had a real, live publicity committee ut work, our glanre fell on the next item: \u201cThanks to Mr.Raymond Savage the Publicity Committee have been put in touch with another prospective industry which is seriously considering Granby as a suitable location for their plant.It is indeed encouraging to note that the merchants and individual citizens are taking an active interest in the industrial development of the city.The Publicity Committee wish to advise that any \u201cleads,\u201d however remote, will be followed closely and thoroughly investigated and hope that our fellow-citizens will follow up the good example of Mr.Savage and turn over to the Committee Chairman, Mr.Meyer, or Mavor Boivin, any information which comes into their possession.It is only by all working together that we can hope to see Granby grow.\u201d And there is more of it.The Stuebing Lift Truck Co.of Canada have been interested in a plant in Granby and will locate there, thanks to the efforts of the säme publicity committee.This is a subsidiary of a large organization with head offices in Cincinnati, O.and the industry promises to be a big thing for Granby.Is it any wonder that jealous?We are accustomed to chanting.over and over again.that the St.Maurice Valley district is the site.par excellence, for industries.ou account of its transportation facilities, cheap power.and so forth.Well, what are we going to about it?we are ao Are we going to sit back and twiddle our thumbs, while our Granby friends.and others in thig province and Ontario grab off the plums?Or are we going to get wise to ourselves and try a little organized publicity work on our own hook?During the past five years.any industrial development that has taken place ifn Three Rivers has been purely spontaneous, and has heen due to the normal development of Industries, established here before that time.Yet we boast that Three Rivers will have a population of 50,000 in five years! If we want to see that dream realized, we have got to understand that a publicity bureau of the right kind.coupled with earnest and co-ordinated backing by the municipal authorities is necessary if Three Rivers is going to succeed in attract one s'ngle new industry to locate here.tr hrs SUPERIOR To the residents of the Counties of Chateauguay and Huntingdon, | desire to express my sincere

MILKED AT MERCROFT FARMS Mr.Gilbert McMillan Highly Recommended Upon the Restocking of Farms, by Mr.Robert J.Mercur.CERTIFIED MILK DAIRY.Milk Standard Has Been Raised \u2014Production Average per Day About 40 lbs.per Cow.To change the entire operating machinery in a factory, without interrupting for a single day the production of the output, would be a feat requiring very considerable skill and organizing ability, but when you start to compare this feat with the changing of an entire herd of dairy cows, without a single day's interruption in the supply, I think it will be generally admitted to be an equally difficult proposition, This feat has recently been complished by the Mercroft at Dorval, Que., the leading fied milk dairy in the district.Realizing that their Holstein herd was not producing a high enough grade of milk to meet the demands of first-class certified milk, they decide to replaced them with Ayrshires, and enlisted the ax- sistance of the well known Ayrshire breeder, Gilbert McMillan of Huntingdon, Que.to assist them in making the change.Mr.Mercur says: \u201cWe hava handled various breeds of cattle, but as the greater part of our output is now bottled at our Farm and sold in the City of Montreal- as \u201cCertified Milk,\u201d we were compelled to arrive at a fixed standard of quality and butter fat to meet these requirements, and.therefore, secured the co-operation of Mr.Gilbert Me- ac- Farms certi- Montreul Millan, the well-known Ayrshire breeder of Huntingdon.Que.to change our entire herd te purebred Ayrshire cattle.\u201d \u201cThis has now been donc with the most satisfactory results, and we have a herd of about 45 milking cows, and are getting our daily production up to an average of about 40 lbs, per cow.\u201d Owing to the very keen demand for Ayrshire cows.uy American Page 3 of milk, the task was not an easy one, but the final act in the drama was put across on the eveping of January 13th when the last shipment was marched into the Mer- croft barns at 10.30 pm.To get there in time not to interfere with the milk output, this shipment of cows was moved by the C.N.R.from a point 126 miles west of Toronto between 2.30 p.m.on Jan- unary 12th until the time stated above, when a fast freight interrupted her schedule long enough to run the car onto the siding at Dorval.It is decidedly to the credit of the men in charge at Mercroft Farms that, despite the risks taken in moving cows in zero weather.no serious losses were incurred.Mothers of Montreal desiring to secure the very best grade of milk that can be obtalned anywhere, will now have that opportunity, as Mercroft Farms milk has always stood high in pcint of bacterial count, and will now be of the quality recommended by the most cmin- ent authorities on child nutrition.By an arrangement made with Mr.McMillan, only cows will be kept at Mercroft Farms that are in full flow milk, the cows being freshened at Huntingdon and re turned there towards the end of their milk period, thus assuring a particularly high grade of milk.FORT COVINGTON Easter hats are now on at Mrs.C.Murphy's, Fort ton, N.Y.Mrs.Ralph Miller who is soon to remove to Montreal was
